Hey Folks, I was about to leave the station today when I got word that a TRCA field crew spotted a Red-headed Woodpecker this morning along the dirt road which leads to the banding station. Mark Field and I decided to drive slowly up the road and keep an eye out for it, and BAM there it was! We watched it slowly work its way along the road and got lots of photos (which I will post on www.ttpbrs.ca). Thanks to Chris Dunn and the crew for letting us know! I always appreciate being informed about bird sightings in the study area (Peninsula D). * *Directions
